Jake Patterson, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping Jayme Closs and murdering her parents, appeared in court for a sentencing hearing on Friday.
In a statement read by Jayme's attorney, Chris Gramstrup, Jayme vowed never to let Patterson control her life.
She said Patterson took away her home and her parents, which she called "the most important things in my life," and asked a judge to sentence him to the maximum time in prison.
Patterson faces up to life in prison for each homicide count and up to 25 years for the kidnapping charge.
